Malachi 2:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to (A)stumble [a]by the instruction; you have (B)ruined the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of armies. 9 “So (C)I also have made you despised and of (D)low reputation [b]in the view of all the people, since you are not keeping My ways but are showing (E)partiality in the [c]instruction.”
Sin in the Family
10 Do we not all have (F)one Father? (G)Is it not one God who has created us? Why do we deal (H)treacherously, each against his brother so as to profane the (I)covenant of our fathers?
